If you find something, then you have to reconfigure it to your needs. Regards, Josef

Restricting Posts to Subscribers
by Andrew Sawyers 29 Jun '04

29 Jun '04

A similar discussion is taking place on zope-dev and I'd like to bring that here as well. I'd like to propose that we change the Mailman policy for this list to restrict posting to subscribers only. I'm sure others will agree and others will not. Some of the recent issues I've seen are: A) I can't stop some logical extensions (.zip) which are now containing virus' from getting to the list without causing problems for those who are possibly attaching valid attachments B) We can't stop all spam - we're using 3 rbl lists to stop as much as we can; that is not good enough IMNSHO C) We can stop outside mailers from replying to the list illogically My vote is for refusing posts from non-subscriber emails. Let the beatings begin. Andrew -- Zope Corporation Software Engineer (540) 361-1700

Session Timeout Changes on it own?
by hpinson＠indepthl.com 29 Jun '04

29 Jun '04

Hi. I am using Zope 2.6.0,Redhat Linux 8. Yesterday, I set my Transient Object Container "Data object timeout value in minutes" to a value of 120 and clicked change. The new increased value appeared to take. This morning, the timeout value had revereted to 20. I am not aware of doing anything to make this happen. Does anyone have an explanation from this unexplained behavior in the sessioning mechanism.

(111) Connection refused question
by sp m 29 Jun '04

29 Jun '04

Hi All, I do apologize if this has been asked before, but I searched and couldn't find anything. Google didn't yield much info either. I'm new to Zope administration and ours gave this error (from apache's log): [Fri Jun 25 10:25:21 2004] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] (111) Connection refused: proxy connect to 127.0.0.1 port 8080 failed The error indicates zope would not accept new connection and restarting zope did fix the issue. I peeked at the logs, and there was no indication of what the problem could have been. Does anyone has any experience on this issue? Many thanks in advance. -ST __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - Helps protect you from nasty viruses. http://promotions.yahoo.com/new_mail

temporary_folder after upgrade from 2.6.4 to 2.7.0
by Florian Schulze 29 Jun '04

29 Jun '04

Hi! Some time ago I upgraded Zope from 2.6.4 to 2.7.0. I now noticed, that the temporary folder is not mounted with ZODB Mount Points. The error message is: "/temp_folder temporary ** Something is in the way **". On a clean installation it just says OK. I guess the temporary folder is a leftover from the 2.6.4 installation. The problem is, I can't delete it and mount it correctly. Florian

Threading
by bo＠bitute.b4net.lt 29 Jun '04

Hello. Does anybody know how to get new ZODB connection in background thread? Effect I would like to get: user clicks on "OK" button and system immediately answers him "File in process" (user will not wait until it finish). After process gets done, it stores result to itself somewhere. Here is an example how I run thread: def run(self, id, djs = []): if not self.__is_locked: thread = threading.Thread(target = self._run, args = (id, djs,)) thread.setDaemon(1) thread.start() thread.join() And self._run() is the method of the same class. The problem is that it does not deal with Persistence and I got error on Connection.py when it does setstate(): RuntimeError: Shouldn't load state for '\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x04\xf9\xf2' when the connection is closed It raises when I do: return xml.dom.minidom.parseString(xmldoc) What it means -- I know, but I am stuck to solve this... Probably too hot. :) The questions are: 1. When setstate() is called exactly? 2. What exactly I need to do to avoid this problem? And how (some example or related code would be perfect). 3. How to pass current db connection of ZODB to the child thread? Actually I mean, what object should receive it and for what? 4. Does somebody knows good URL to RTFM (to ask less)? 5. Does somebody already have good code example? (it would be top-perfect and short answer for all these my problems). Thank anybody for advance! -- 暮 I've been in the sun for a week.

"Product" under Zope 2.7.0
by Brian Sullivan 28 Jun '04

28 Jun '04

I am attempting to convert some stuff running correctly on Zope 2.6 to 2.7 under Win2000. I have a "product" that I created by following the instructions for creating products in the "PythonScripts" product to allow access to the Python DSV module from http://python-dsv.sourceforge.net/. This seems to function correctly under 2.6 but under 2.7 the DSV.py module apparently fails to convert to byte code ( my understanding is this is done on Zope startup when required) thereby making the "product" non functional. I am not exactly sure why this fails though. Any idea how I can approach this problem? How can I get more information on this apparent failure?

Could someone list me the benefits of Zope
by DCHA0956 28 Jun '04

Hi list, I was wondering if someone could possibly list me some of the benefits of using Zope, such as ease of use, stability, variety, etc. Also does anyone know how it compares to other CMS's, such as Typo3. Thank you, Dave
